Dr. Barczak’s laparoscopic surgery to remove my colon went flawlessly (for me). Because of some problems during the surgery it took about 10 hours, 2x typical. He could’ve stopped at any time and justifiably opened up my abdomen to complete the surgery. Instead, he spent 5 extra hours on me making recovery a breeze considering what was done. His staff is excellent and Dr. Barczak is the absolute best there is.

I was referred to Dr Barczak through my primary care. I found him to be very nice and extremely comfortable to talk to during my whole process from the initial appointment to my surgery. He took the time to answer all my questions. Even made sure to talk about my insurance coverage before prescribing some very expensive medications He was awesome!!!!

I can’t believe the debts he left me in. He didn’t care for me either.
